Well when we define what the threats to america are, you can extrapolate all kinds of things on multiple levels.
Take for example obesity, guns, botulism. As we make advances in health and peace, the life expectancy keeps going up, but our economy is burdened by the age gap. Everyone and their mother sees china's catastrophe on the horizon, but what happens if the US collapses dramatically under the weight of *its* unsustainable economy? Its not really that outrageous to suggest that socio-economic factors could lead to a calamity event ranging from great depression to societal collapse or apocalyptic nuclear war. And the cynical outlook is that we'd have been better off in such scenarios not having eliminated the causes of mortality.
That is of course, all doomsdayspeak. But its one possible threat based on the negative effects of eliminating other threats.

For every action I'm sure there would be an upside and downside. The hyperpartisanship is most likely to simply fizzle out like the occupy wallstreet movement. A year from now we might look back and say 'Yeah that was one shit year, that was surprisingly long lived but it died just the same', and we'll point to some high water mark. Or it might spiral out of control and keep getting uglier and uglier. Thats the potential of the threat. It might break down the establishment's status quo and rapidly evolve politics and wipe away the corrupt bureaucracy, but it might plunge us into chaos.

i think that's the rub, when someone says threat its usually unclear if they mean "potential thread", "likely threat", or "highly unlikely threat" with a rainbow of spectrum inbetween. Calling ISIS the greatest threat to the US though seems disingenuous in almost any sense. Unless you're saying "they are a threat to kill the most US citizens of any middle eastern terrorist organization", which seems to be loading the dice too much to really say anything. Especially when we view it from through a more dynamic lens. For instance is it something we can 100% chalk up to ISIS if a mentally ill person with a documented history of violent outburts is incised to violence? What % of the blame do the NRA share for their lobbying of gun rights for all, what % does his family have for neglectful care, what % does his government share for their lax background checking, etc. ISIS isn't a threat, we are.

"Look at the way I have been treated lately, especially by the media," he said. "No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly." Trump

Trump is quite the political historian, if past statements mean anything.
